We'll see what happens. Any idea when bids will be invited, if indeed at all?

there was something in a couple of the major Sydney papers the last week, which suggest regions/bids will be invited. The strong mail is 3-4 bids shortlisted or bids from 2-3 regions (whether that may mean WA, QLD, CC, not sure).

2012 QR National Scholarship Recipients and their Mentors Sing, Hetherington, Loomans, Marsh, McIndoe, Bell, Larson, Lucas (QR National rep), Murphy (Chairman), Keeffe (CEO) ------------------------- League legends to mentor youth Alan Kennedy | 2nd March 2012 Have your say » Tags: cq leagues club, gold coast titans, nrl, rugby league, youth FOR youngsters like Teykoa Nagas a scholarship with the CQ NRL Bid has given him the opportunity to be mentored by some of the former greats of the game. Twelve-year-old Teykoa Nagas is one of the junior rugby league players to receive a QR National scholarship from the CQ NRL Bid Team. Chris Ison FOR youngsters like Teykoa Nagas a scholarship with the CQ NRL Bid has given him the opportunity to be mentored by some of the former greats of the game. Last Friday night some of the greatest players to ever play rugby league were at the CQ Leagues Club to show their support for the CQ NRL Bid and for the NRL Bid Season Launch at which over 200 people attended. A special part of the night included the presentation of the 11 QR National Scholarship recipients and their mentors. Gary Larson, Jason Hetherington, Alan McIndoe, Steve Bell, Matt Sing, PJ Marsh, Justin Loomans, Kevin Campion and Mark Hohn were part of a star-studded line up on the night. Larson, Hetherington, McIndoe, Bell, Sing, Marsh and Loomans will provide mentoring and guidance to the young scholarship recipients along with Rhys Wesser, Mark Graham, Nick Kenny and Sid Domic who were unable to make it on the night. CQ NRL Bid business and community development officer Walson Carlos said the mentoring is an integral part of the QR National Scholarship set up by the CQ NRL Bid team. "The scholarship provides a three tier support to recipients," he said. "There is financial support, mentoring and player welfare education." Carlos said the mentoring was an active part of the scheme with each mentor contacting the players on his allocation list of players by phone and email on a regular basis. Also the mentor will watch the youngster play football whenever possible. "The mentoring is one of the most important parts of the program," Carlos said. "It's pretty special for the youngsters to be mentored by someone who has played over a hundred NRL games or represented Queensland or their country." Regular contact with former players who have already trod the path to NRL stardom helps the young players to focus on their football and "remain grounded". The third tier of the program involves Andrew Pratt, a teacher from Emmaus College, who is highly experienced in player welfare education and has a background with the Queensland Reds. "He talks to the youngsters about substance abuse, social issues and football related issues," Carlos said. The nine mentors at the launch boasted over 1700 NRL and Super League Games, 88 State of Origins and 32 International games between them. Meanwhile, Kevin Campion and Mark Hohn were also present at the function representing their cleaning services business, TJS Cleaning Services, which is one of 150 Corporate Partners of the CQ NRL Bid. Guest speaker for thelaunch was Gold Coast Titans chairman Paul Broughton who gave the football-savvy attendees an insight into the NRL and the challenges of securing an NRL licence. http://www.themorningbulletin.com.au/st ... tor-youth/

It's funny who comes out of the woodwork and who bids try to get involved.

I remember world famous actors who were born or brought up on the North Shore were being contacted. Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman were a couple. But also the realisation that Mel Gibson was raised in West Pymble and would have played RL in the North Sydney comp as a kid was interesting.

When there are QRL development officers who cover the Bundaberg area. ECT. Can you fill us in more?

I think the CQ bid has been putting some funds into a range of jnr initiatives above and beyond the usual QRL funded stuff.

Similiar to what the WARL has been doing in Perth.
